Well Sunday just past saw a family roast lunch here to catch up with family and a chance to ‘farewell the olds’ which was great and then a headlong rush to Friday to tie up all the loose ends so we could head off to stay the night with Sharen and Ken tonight in Canterbury before we all head for the airport in the morning.



A bonus for some of the grandkids after lunch was a ride around the yard on the back of the Bedford since Norm had fitted an electronic fuel pump much to the delight of the kids large and small.

Cannot believe it but we have finally started the great trek to the USA and Canada and greatly relieved we have. We seem to have been thoroughly immersed with our own Business plus Industry matters over the last few weeks and are relieved we can now call ‘halt’ to all that, take a big breath and just relax. P-H-E-W!!

We are grateful our children and other employees will be holding the fort on the business front in our absence and the fact that our business operates from our home and things are happening all the time with people moving to and fro all hours of the day and night is good security and an added bonus is having our friend Kurt house sitting in our absence.



Kurt chauffeured us down to Melbourne in his Citroen so here we are about to leave home.
